I said on another thread some weeks ago that most players seem to reach their peak around 26. Traore is 24 and in my opinion has improved as a player since we first bought him, but has some way yet to go. Personally I'd keep him because he has a good attitude (now) and has pace. He's a good utility guy down the left and offers cover if Yun becomes the starter as Hill ain't no left-back.
 
I'm surprised at people's opinion of him. I always thought he was reasonably dependable and was certainly a workhorse. Ditto to my comments about being disappointed about this if it comes off. Who will we replace him with - a loanee who really couldn't give a to$$ about our predicament? Apologies if I am blind with regards to Traore but I kind of rate him.

Agree, I always thought he was one of our better players .
 
I admire his attitude and all that and I do like him, but against Tottenham he was shoved off the ball too often. He seems either lightweight or not strong enough shoulder to shoulder. That's not helpful for someone with defensive duties as part of their game. The last place to be losing the ball is close to your own goal.
